Does anyone have/has anyone tried the Shakeweight?

The product is a scam and does not do anything for you. There is also no such thing as "toning". The only thing you can do for yourself to provide the "toned" look you're most likely referring to is to weight train and decrease your body fat percentage.

You can't over look the principle of training specificity. As this article demonstrates: http://www.sportsci.org/news/traingain/resistance.htmlWhen competitive swimmers, rowers, and cyclists strength trained there was no noticeable performance gain. The author suggests a focus on technique through sport specific exercises will yield the most benefit. So just as a cyclist will probably have the best luck improving their cycling by cycling, using the Shakeweight is the best training for the upcoming Shakeweight Olympiad. or any sort of sporting event that involves shaking a 2.5 lb weight vigorously.

If you want to be the best at doing sit ups, do only sit ups. Want to be the best at holding an oscillating 'weight'? Get the shakeweight immediately. If you want the 'toned' look in your ab region, use progressive overload to exercise your abs and decrease your body fat. Simple as that. Goes for every body part.

Skittles, I'm glad you did some research before buying it. Good work!

If you think my post is too abrasive, harsh, or offensive, you're:A) Wrong.B) Too sensitive.C) Not going to receive an apology for pointing it out.

Probably literally no carbohydrates, except for a few veggies (no starches) and tons tons of water will be the best way you can eat! Also will have to exercise like crazy to lose that amount of weight ...
